All the matter of the world, living and not living,Appear as objects to my eyes.Let me rest in the appearance of things, without seeing them as things.Empty clarity without fixation is the deity form.I pray to my guru — naturally releasing empty appearance.

All the sounds of the world, pleasant or unpleasant,Resound as objects in my ears.Let me rest in silence in sound, inconceivable and inexpressible.Silence in sound, without beginning or end, is the speech of the awakened.I pray to my guru — naturally releasing sound-emptiness.

Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche's commentary on the practice (A Teaching on Guru Rinpoche's Supplication That All Thoughts Be Self-Liberated) can be found here http://www.ktgrinpoche.org/guru_rinpoche.htmlIt includes a downloadable recording of the song (in English). Nice tune.

Edwards: You are a philosopher. Dr Johnson: I have tried too in my time to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in.
